Summary:

This book mainly concerns the experimental aspects of a rapidly developing area of modern photonics, id est, the singular optics of partially coherent, partially polarized, and polychromatic light fields. This topic gives rise to both new concepts and experimental tools for laboratory investigation, and considerable extension of the possibilities for implementation of the singular optics paradigm in solving diverse practical problems ranging from nanoscience to astrophysics.
